...giving students the choice of meal plans would be unacceptably detrimental to House life. Currently, the dining hall is the space and atmosphere that is, in almost every way, the social and economic equalizer within the Houses. Anyone can enter when they like, eat with friends as they wish, go back for seconds, step out for a few minutes, and return to rejoin other friends. Limiting some students’ access to their own House dining halls—even if it’s their own choice to do so—will significantly reduce this social dynamic...
...have been a very festive kind of religion. The people danced in the churches. We know of the constant efforts of the church fathers to crack down on it.

...Enter the Zingaro Theater in Aubervilliers, just north of Paris, and you step into another place and time. An Elizabethan-style theater-in-the-round spreads before you beneath a soaring beamed ceiling. As the show opens on the circle of earth below, a gypsy troupe sleeps as their horses gather around a waterfall. It is the morning of a great wedding feast. Bartabas, who co-founded the equestrian theater Zingaro (Italian for gypsy) in 1984, has a new show, Battuta (beat or rhythm in Romany), which also features bears, geese, dogs and acrobatics galore. But this is no circus...
